Start where you are. And if you don't listen to it, just like that window of opportunity goes with addiction and recovery, it's the same with other facets of our life.
Ever felt like you're hiding from the world? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Wanja Joy opens up about her journey from the shadows of alcohol addiction to the light of recovery. Growing up in Kenya, Wanja faced immense pressure to excel academically, which planted the seeds of perfectionism early on. This mindset eventually spiraled into a hidden battle with alcohol, a struggle she kept secret even from her therapist.
But Wanja's story is one of transformation and hope. She shares how she finally reached out for help and began her own podcast, 'Wanja on Air: Actions in Recovery', to support others on similar journeys. Wanja discusses the importance of accountability, therapy, and discipline in overcoming addiction. She also delves into how childhood trauma can fuel addictive behaviors and the dangers of relying on stress as a coping mechanism. Her message? Start where you are and trust your intuition.
If you're looking for an inspiring tale of resilience and recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
